Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the eggplant, onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Cooking the Stew

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add the Vegetables

    Stir in the diced eggplant, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

  3. 5

    Season the Stew

    Add salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin to the pot. Stir well to ensure the seasonings coat the vegetables.

  4. 6

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the eggplant is tender.
